Book Synopsis
The cracks in Clementine and Edouard's marriage are becoming impossible to ignore. Her work as a perfumer is no longer providing solace and her sense of self is withering. Then, decades after the disturbing end of a bisexual love triangle, Clementine's former lover Racha resurfaces and her world tilts. What does she want, if not revenge? Set in Paris and Provence, this is a beautifully written, intimate portrait of a woman navigating conflicting desires whilst dreaming of a fulfilling future.

Trade Review
'Very, very good, an intense and unflinching expose of desire and its legacy'. Elizabeth Buchan. 'Vividly passionate, Costello's prose is reminiscent of masters like Leila Slimani. Thrillingly stylish' Daisy Buchanan. 'A writer of enormous intelligence and sensitivity. she is also a skilled storyteller. Inventive, vivid and distinctive' Mary Loudon
